Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold User Guide
Tip: If you experience page load delays for device or system passive monitor logs (SNMP
Trap, Syslog, and Windows Event Log), this may be caused by too many records displaying
for the selected time range. Change the time range or reduce the Maximum Passive Monitor
Records setting to display fewer records. Reducing the maximum number of passive monitor
records will improve WhatsUp Gold report and log display performance. For more
information, see Managing server options (on page 681).
This log includes the time the message was received as well as its source, the trap that
triggered it, and its payload.
Log body
The following information is displayed in the log:
Date. The date the trap occurred.
Source. The device or program that originated the trap.
Trap. The type of trap received.
Payload. The vital data (such as trap name, the IP address from which the trap came,
date of the trap, etc.) that passed within a packet or other transmission unit.
Tip: Move your mouse over the payload entry to view more of the payload information.
Note: The data is limited to the first 100 bytes in the payload. To view the full payload, click
the payload entry to view the payload details (on page 683).
Note: If the log data exceeds the maximum number of records set for full reports, use the
Paging Options (on page 603) to view more records for the log. The maximum number of
records any full report displays is specified in the Preferences (on page 604) dialog.
